Meat Cake is a comic book series written and drawn by American cartoonist Dame Darcy.
Meat Cake has been described as "neo-Victorian",[1] with each issue containing a collection of stories featuring a cast of oddball characters.
All the same, Meat Cake was characterized by one critic as extremely personal: "the aesthetic that made Meatcake so distinctive wasn't cultivated; it was who [Dame Darcy] was, and how she was".
[2] One issue of Meat Cake was published in 1992 by Caliber Press.
In 1993 Fantagraphics picked up Meat Cake as an ongoing series, starting over the numbering with issue #1.
